"I, too, would like to find an elevator to lift me up to Jesus, for I am too little to climb the rough stairway of perfection...The elevator which must raise me to the heavens is Your arms, O Jesus! For that I do not need to grow; on the contrary, I must necessarily remain small, become smaller and smaller. O my God, You have surpassed what I expected, and I want to sing Your mercies."

A Catholic Woman's Guide to Scripture

Walking with Purpose (WWP) is a Catholic Women’s Bible study that aims to bring women to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Using scripture and weekly small group discussions, the goal of the WWP ministry is to link everyday challenges with solutions from the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.

WWP is a tested approach open to women of all ages and backgrounds in our parish who want to grow in prayer and unity with God’s Word. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we hope you will join us.

How does it work?

Participation in Walking with Purpose at St. Andrew will be in a small group setting (no more than 12). Most of the reading is done individually using your study guide throughout the week.

We also gather during the study for Connect Coffees, which consist of social time and an online presentation of related Bible talks and small group discussion. All meetings will take place at the St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church facility.

The next St. Andrew the Apostle WWP study will be "Fearless & Free" (January 31 - March 16, 2023). Fearless and Free, a Bible study based on the book of Ephesians, is ideal for those who long for wholeness of heart and are in need of freedom from past wounds. This study provides a firm foundation to stand on no matter what life throws our way.

There will be four sessions (listed below). Each session is limited to 12 participants and registration for that day/time will be closed once we reach capacity. While we will make every effort to accommodate your first choice, your session assignment must be confirmed by the WWP registrar. To view the syllabus for each session, please click the session listed:

• Tuesday AM (10AM – 11:30AM)
• Tuesday PM (7PM – 8:30PM)
• Thursday AM (10AM – 11:30AM)
• Thursday PM (7PM – 8:30PM)

Please Note: WWP will not meet during weeks that include Federal holidays, feast days, or conflicting parish activities. These dates are listed in each syllabus.

Spaces for this program are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis - so please REGISTER as soon as possible. Registration will close on Monday, January 23.

The registration stipend is $10 for the complete six week study. The Fearless & Free study guide is available for purchase on the Walking with Purpose website. The study guide is $20 plus shipping. More details will be provided in a follow-up email including your registration/session confirmation.
